NOTICES  OP  FIRST  EDITION. 

"Mr.  Lordan  is  known  for  his  at  once  exceptional  and  ho- 
nourable place  in  literature.  Some  years  ago  he  appeared  as  the 
author,  printer,  and  publisher  of  a  very  clever  book,  not  a  word 
of  which  was  ever  written.  His  '  Colloquies  on  Poetry  and 
Poets'  was  really  first  composed  in  the  types  which  he  set  up, 
to  give  expression  to  his  thoughts.  "We  are  glad  to  find  that 
the  "  Colloquies  ''  is  in  its  third  edition.  In  the  present  work 
on  English  Surnames  Mr.  Lordan,  after  a  pleasant  introduction 
showing  that  Surnames  are  taken  from  every  place,  ouality, 
circumstance,  the  earth,  the  heaven  above,  and  the~waters 
under  the  earth,  proceeds  to  arrange  the  surnames  in  groups. 
In  the  notes  dropped  as  the  names  are  gathered  there  is  some- 
thing to  glean.  —  ATHEN;EUM. 

"The  critical  opinion  expressed  by  Moore  of  a  collection  of 
Mr.  Lordan's  essays  on  Poetry  and  Poets  published  several 

" 


g. 

arrangement  adopted  by  Mr.  Lordan  is  to  be  commended,  for 
he  has  grouped  the  names  in  "  families"  and  preceded  these 
name-groups  by  a  dissertation  "  On  some  of  the  Odd  Phases 
of  our  Surnames."  But  is  by  no  means  easy  to  make  such  a 
selection  as  would  do  the  author  justice.  Every  page  contains 
quotable  passages,  which,  however,  are  so  firmly  woven  into 
one  concise  story  that  it  seems  a  pity  to  disintegrate  it.  The 
author  may  rest  satisfied  that  he  has  done  good  service  by  his 
publication."—  MORNING  POST. 

"  The  name  of  Lordan  will  recall  to  the  mind  of  many  per- 
sons the  same  author's  'Colloquies  on  Poetry  and  Poets,'  which 
Mr.  Lordan,  who  is  a  printer,  composed  at  once  in  types  with- 
out written  copy.  This  singular  volume  has  had  a  success 
which  is  not  at  all  beyond  its  merits.  The  present  work,  which 
is  most  creditable  to  the  compiler's  own  press,  is  also  creditable 
to  his  taste  and  industry.  Some  singular  names  are  to  be 
found  in  these  groups,  and  a  great  deal  of  "  fun"  may  be  got 
out  of  some  of  them.  The  Introduction,  "  On  Some  of  the 
Odd  Phases  of  our  Surnames,"  shows  how  well-qualified  Mr. 
Lordan  is  to  handle  this  subject,  and  that  he  can  be  as  much  a 
humourist  as  a  scholar."  —  NOTES  AND  QUERIES.

circumstance  is  only  noticeable,  inasmuch  as  it  may  be  a  mental 
and  mechanical  combination  unprecedented  but  unimposing. 
But  THB  PEN  has  been  a  stranger  to  the  prose  part  of  its

WORDSWORTH : 
No  commonplace  production,  but  a  truly  original  one. 

MOORE : 
A  volume  in  every  respect  interesting. 

LORD    LYTTON: 
A  very  eloquent  little  book. 

LADY    BLESSINGTON: 

An  interesting  literary  curiosity; — a  very  remarkable 
production. 

DR.    CROLY: 

The  circumstances  of  its  production  render  it  curious  to  a 

lover  of  books,  but  its  freshness  and  vigour  of  conception 

render  it  of  still  higher  value  to  a  lover  of  literature. 

ROGERS: 
Highly  to  be  valued  on  every  account. 

CARLYLE : 

Wholesome,  cheery,  sanatory;  like  a  ramble  through  the 
summer  groves. 

DICKENS: 
A  striking  example  of  industry,  intelligence,  and  perseverance. 

TENNYSON: 
It  is  indeed  a  great  curiosity. 

MRS.    8OUTHEY: 
Most  remarkable,  and  in  many  ways  most  interesting. 

MRS.    HOWITT: 

Its  just  and  generous  views  of  Poets  and  Poetry  have  been 
a  real  luxury. 

MISS    MITFORD: 
A  volume  curious  and  interesting  in  every  respect. 

DR.    DORAN: 

Altogether,  I  now  believe  that  your's  is  the  first  book  that  has 
been  printed  without  being  written. 


OPINIONS    OF    THE    PRESS. 


"  A  book  printed  that  was  never  written— a  miracle,  if  the 
reader  will  thus  accept  it.  The  remarks  on  French  pulpit 
orators  are  just  and  discriminating.  We  cannot  do  better  than 
commend  this  '  unwritten  book." — ATHEN^UM. 

"  Apart  from  its  intrinsic  merits  it  is  a  curiosity,  being  the 
first  unwritten  book.  There  is,  indeed,  a  tradition  that  Betif 
de  la  Bretonne  composed  his  '  Paysan  Perverti  '  in  the  same 


Lost '  and  the  first  proof  of  his  handiwork  is  still  in  his  pos- 
session."—ATHENJEUM  (2d  notice). 

"  A  book  of  pleasant  and  genial  gossip,  the  result  of  extensive 
reading  and  keen,  yet  generous  observation.  "We  thank  the 
author  for  adding  to  our  intellectual  treats." — ART  JOURNAL. 

"  In  every  respect  a  singular  book  :  it  contains  268  pages  of 
poetical  prose,  acute  criticism,  shrewd  thoughts,  and  charitable 
philosophy.  The  greatest  singularity,  perhaps,  about  this 
volume  consists  in  the  fact,  that  not  a  word  of  it  was  ever 
written.  If  the  simultaneous  arrangement  of  his  thoughts 
and  his  types  together  has  at  all  affected  Mr.  Lordan's  style, 
it  is  not  injuriously  so— it  has  made  it  concise  and  expressive." 
—CHURCH  AND  STATE  GAZETTE. 

"  A  singular  work,  never  written  out,  but  at  once  set  up  by 
the  Author  in  is  own  printing  office.  The  criticism  on 
Wordsworth,  Milton,  and  others  is  good,  abounding  in  pleasing 
images  and  sound  opinions." — BELL'S  MESSENGER. 

"  A  literary  curiosity,  worthy  of  commendation." — JOHN 
BULL. 

"  A  curiosity  in  literature.— The  colloquies  are  original  both 
in  thought  and  expression,  and  point  to  qualities  and  beauties 
in  the  poets  which  we  believe  have  never  been  noticed  before. 
A  short  original  poem,  '  The  Approach  of  Night  in  Eden,' 
has  the  flowing  melody,  the  imaginative  Orientalism  of 
language,  the  richness  of  imagery  we  admire  in  Moore." 
—BRITANNIA. 

"  An  '  unwritten  book'— a  volume  of  nearly  300  pages,  ad- 
mirably printed,  but  of  which  no  portion  was  ever  written, 
seems  at  first  to  be  a  perfect  paradox.  Mr.  Lordan's  «  Collo- 
quies' may  however  be  safely  left  to  the  influence  of  their 
own  innate  quality.  Distinguished  by  much  originality  of 
thought,  and  by  an  easy  and  vigorous  diction,  they  are  steeped 
in  the  very  essence  of  true  poetic  feeling,  and  evince  a  kind- 
ling sympathy  with  the  generous  emotions  and  warm  impulses 
of  human  nature  in  its  best  and  loftiest  moods."— POOLE  AND 
DORSET  HERALD. 

"  This  is  indeed  a  curious  work :  worthy  of  unqualified 
praise." — DOBSET  CHRONICLE. 


"  Mr.  Lordan  has  dared  to  do  more  in  a  typographical 
manner  than  any  printer  since  the  introduction  of  the  art  by 
Coxton.  We  allude  to  his  '  Desultory  Colloquies,*  a  book 
for  which  there  was  never  any  manuscript  copy— a  thing 
unparalleled  in  the  annals  of  literature :  in  fact  the  first 
unwritten  book.  The  Colloquies  are  most  highly  interesting, 
and  are  '  got  up  '  in  an  admirable  manner,  and  ought  to 
be  found  upon  the  shelves  of  every  library,  if  only  as  one  of 
the  Curiosities  of  Literature."—  KENTISH  INDEPENDENT. 

A  curiosity  of  literature.  There  is  evidentlya  strong  poetic 
feeling  in  the  Colloquies,  and  the  admirers  of  Wordsworth  and 
Professor  Wilson  will  read  the  worfc  with  especial  satisfaction. 
— MAONET. 

"  There  is  a  deep  thought  and  acute  criticism  chastely  ex- 
pressed in  every  page,  interwoven  with  poetical  imaginings 
which  are  frequently  beautiful,  and  sometimes  approach  the 
sublime.  A  most  readable  volume,  from  the  perusal  of  which 
one  may  rise  with  the  feeling  of  having  enjoyed  a  real  intel- 
lectual treat." — HAMPSHIRE  ADVERTISER. 

"  A  mental  and  mechanical  combination  almost  unparalleled 
in  the  annals  of  typography  :  abounding  in  glowing  thought 
and  imagery.  The  book  is  most  healthful  and  cheery,  is  full 
of  freshness  and  vigour,  and  many  of  its  views  of  poets  and 
poetry  are  original  and  sound."— SALISBURY  JOURNAL. 

"  This  work  is,  we  believe,  unparalleled  in  the  history  of 
literature.  The  author  is  evidently  one  who  has  quaffed  deeply 
from  the  well  of  pure  poetry,  keen  in  the  perception  of  beauty 
—nervous  in  thought  and  expression — kindly  and  pleasant  to 
gossip  withal." — SALISBURY  HBRALD. 

"  A  handsomely-printed  volume  of  more  than  250  pages— 
a  mental  effort  unparalleled  in  the  annals  of  literature  and  ty- 
pography;— displaying  much  originality  of  style  and  varied 
reading." — HANTS  CHRONICLE. 

"  We  congratulate  the  author  upon  the  talent  displaped  in 
his  work,  which  is  also  creditable  to  him  for  its  typographical 
execution." — DOVER  CHRONICLE. 

"  The  author  set  up  the  type  without  first  writing  '  copy.' 
For  this  reason  alone  the  book  is  a  curiosity.  It  is  something 
more :  Mr.  Lordan  has  the  true  spirit  of  authorship :  his 
'  Colloquies  '  are  charming." — ¥ IOAKO. 

"  A  volume  of  essays  full  of  bright,  good,  genial  thoughts, 
admirably  expressed,  and  revealing  grout  critical  acumen  and 
poetic  power." — NORTHAMPTON  MERCURY.

PREFATORY    NOTE    TO    SECOND    EDITION. 


"  A  group  of  Surnames  is  in  course  of  constant  expansion 
from  the  turning -up  of  new  members,"  was  an  apology  for 
many  omissions  discovered  too  late  for  insertion  in  a  Collection 
which  preceded  the  present,  and  which  had  leen  the  result 
chiefly  of  a  winnowing  of  London  and  Provincial  Directories. 
In  this  winnowing  the  purpose  was,  to  separate  from  English 
Surnames  in  the  mass,  and  to  assort  in  groups  or  classes, 
those  which  in  their  form  and  meaning  were  recognisable  parts 
of  language,  as  distinct  from  that  great  remainder  which  are 
ofolscure  signification  or  of  none.     Since  his  first  Essay  in 
this  direction  the  Compiler  has  leen  enabled  to  considerably 
augment   it  from  access  courteously  afforded    ly   MAJOK 
GKAHAM  to  the  National  Depository  of  Surnames  of  which, 
as  Registrar  General,  he  is  custodian;  ly  an  unpublished 
collection,  similar  in  plan,  of  GENEBAL  SIR  GEO.  LE  GRAND 
JACOB,  C.B.,  K.C.S.I.;  and  ly  contributions  from  interested 
and  friendly   Correspondents — to   all  of   whom  thankful 
acknowledgment  is  here  made.     To  Authors  also  from  whose 
works    information    and  materials  have  leen  gleaned  the 

Compiler  gratefully  admits  his  obligation.

<(  TN  the  catalogue  of  books  which  are  no  books  I 
reckon  DIRECTORIES  and  Draught-Boards  bound 
and  lettered,"  wrote  one  of  the  most  entertaining  of 
English  Essayists.*  His  allusion  to  a  Draught-Board 
may  be  regarded  as  a  bagatelle;  but — enamoured  of 
London  as  he  was — had  it  been  his  humour  to  have 
chosen  its  DIRECTORY  for  a  studied  theme,  what  pen 
would  have  dealt  with  it  more  interestingly  ?  Truly, 
at  first  sight  this  ponderous  Namebook,  like  a  certain 
leaden  casket,  "rather  threatens  than  doth  promise 
aught"  but  heaviness ;  yet  on  second  thought,  what 
single  secular  volume  is  in  reality  more  suggestive? 
For  of  how  surging  and  swarming  a  mass  of  Human 
Life  is  this  huge  tome  the  silent  index,  and  what 
imagination  may  compass  a  ten-thousandth  part  of  the 

*  Lamb  :  "  Essays  of  Elia."

joys,  and  pains,  and  passions,  at  every  moment  vivid 
in  the  vast  theatre  of  whose  actors  it  is  the  elaborate 
muster-roll?    Herein   are  titles  so   interwoven  with 
the  grandest  achievements  of  Literature  and  Art  and 
Science — with  National  Glory,  Statecraft,  Enterprise 
— that  at  sight  of  them  History  unrols  an  endless  page 
and   Memory  is   overwrought.     Herein   are  names, 
adopted  or  imposed,    representative    of  the   virtues 
which   all  but   deify  and  the   vices  which  all   but 
demonise  mankind.     Herein,  as  in  an  inexhaustible 
treasure-house,  are  stored  the  constructive  materials 
wrought  up  by  poets  and  by  word-painters,  who  have 
analysed    and    pictured    and    mirrored    MAN,    that 
complex  Masterpiece  of  Creation — now,  as  ever,  to  the 
Priest  a  perplexity,  to  the  Poet  a  still  unfathomed 
mine,  to  the  Painter  a  perpetual  study,  to  the  Mecha- 
nician a  marvel,  to   the  Philosopher  an  unsolvable 
problem,   to   the   Chemist  a  soluble  combination  of 
gases.     If  now  we  could  realise  that  which  is  indeed 
most  real,  that  on  this  thronged  human  stage  each 
actor  has  his  special  role,  his  individuality,  then  may 
these    Directory-pages    acquire    an  effect  like  that 
imparted  by  the  stereoscope  to  the  flat  groupings  of 
photography,    in    which   every   unit  stands  out  in 
distinct  relief  and  asserts  a  character  of  its  own,  in  the 
similitude  of  actual  and  all  but  articulate  life. 

For  the  special  purpose  however  of  this  compilation 


OF    OUR   SURNAMES.  O 

Directories  have  not  been  resorted  to  as  stimulators  of 
the  imagination,  nor  as  matter-of-fact  indicators  of 
men's  homes  aud  their  vocations,  but  simply  as  Regis- 
ters which  record  their  NAMES.  Of  these  such  as 
carry  on  their  surface  a  meaning  which  is  plain  and 
passing  current  among  us  have  been  assorted  and 
grouped,  not  by  the  rules  of  Etymology,  but  from, 
their  having  a  kindred  signification  or  an  apparent 
relationship,  though  the  legitimacy  of  such  relationship 
Etymology  would  frequently  disown.  Indeed,  the 
current  form  and  meaning  of  many  of  our  Surnames 
are  often  so  greatly  and  not  seldom  so  altogether  at 
variance  with  that  which  they  originally  bore,  that 
between  what  was  Primitive  in  structure  and  in 
signification  and  what  is  Present  the  contrast  is  some- 
times grotesque;*  but  as  this  classification  is  based 
almost  exclusively  upon  Surnames  as  we  find  them,  it 
would  continually  break  up  a  family  circle  in  these 
pages  if  certain  of  them  should,  at  the  bidding  of 
Etymology,  be  withdrawn  from  the  company  in  which 
they  now  appear  and  be  sent  into  strictly  correct 
society.  In  a  living  language  the  history  of  many  of  its 

*  Of  Names  th.ua  distorted  in  form  and  perverted  in  meaning  a 
striking  illustration  is  afforded  in  that  of  Blacknionster,  "  which 
repulsive  name  (Mr.  Lower  observes,)  is  a  corruption  of  £lanch- 
minster,  the  White  Monastery."  The  same  writer  attributes  the 
surname  Devil  to  the  French  De  Ville,  an  instance  of  still  more 
obnoxious  perversion. 


ON   SURNAMES 

TVords,  in  regard  to  their  significations,  has  been  one 
of  change,  of  others  it  has  been  one  of  entire  trans- 
formation ;  but  in  their  everyday  use  we  think  only  of 
what  they  are  actually  intended  to  express  and  have 
no  regard  for  significations  which  (so  to  speak,)  have 
departed  this  life — a  precedent  which  it  is  hoped  may 
justify  in  this  arrangement  of  our  present  Surnames  the 
not  irreverent  ignoring  of  "  forgotten  relationships"* 
and  meanings  which  are  out  of  date  and  obsolete. 

"  All  Names,"  observes  a  learned  authority,  "  had 
originally  a  meaning;"  but  of  the  Surnames  now  in 
use  a  mass  appear  to  be  meaningless,  while  a  large 
proportion  of  them  possess  an  interest  of  a  twofold 
character  and  degree.  Inasmuch  as  many  of  them 
were  among  the  first  developments  of  the  God-given 
faculty  of  speech,  and  are  thus  connected  with  the 
mystery  which  attaches  to  the  origin  of  human  lan- 
guage, they  have  a  peculiar  and  profound  interest  for 
the  Philologist  in  every  land  which  the  love  of  Letters 
has  enlightened.  In  our  own,  and  looking  more 
especially  to  names  which  lie  at  the  root  of  our 
mother-tongue,  it  has  been  to  Learning  a  labour  of 
love  to  probe  their  source,  and  from  their  primitive 
derivations  to  trace  them  in  their  altered  forms  through 
ages  of  mere  oral  usage,  and  that  usage  often  rude. 

*  "  I  have  sought  to  trace  tbo  forgotten  relationship  of  2000 
years." — fcrguaon,  in  "  Teutonic  Name-System." 


IN    FAMILY   GROUPINGS.  O 

And  it  needs  no  scholarly  appreciation  of  scholarship 
to  survey  with  admiration  the  painstaking  researches 
of  those  who,  in  our  own  field  of  Nomenclature,  have 
dug  for  "  roots  "  in  Anglo-Saxon  and  more  ancient 
soil,  have  disclosed  their  ramifications  through  suc- 
cessive centuries,  and  tracked  them  to  a  local  habita- 
tion in  the  Directory  of  the  living  day.  But  this  rare 
intellectual  enjoyment  is  exclusively  the  Student's 
reward,  and  is  therefore  a  privilege  shared  by  com- 
paratively few,  Names  may,  nevertheless,  be  found 
to  possess  a  secondary  interest  to  unlearned  and  merely 
surface  observers,  if  such  observers  will  only  look  them 
steadfastly  in  the  face — have  an  eye  to  the  frequent 
quaintness  of  their  forms — spare  a  thought  on  their 
occasional  oddity  as  appellations  of  Men — and  note 
how,  when  gathered  into  groups,  they  make  compact 
and  intimate  alliances.  Eegarded  thus,  and  apart 
from  any  "  remoter  charm  "  by  Philology  supplied, 
"  or  any  interest  unborrowed  from  the  eye  "  and  its 
familiar  associations,  they  are  herein  clustered  on  the 
printed  page,  and  with  diffidence  presented  in  a  point 
of  view  which  is  simply  and  avowedly  superficial. 

The  culling-out  from  that  infinite  array  of  Surnames 
which  our  national  Name- Registers  present,  those 
which  are  intelligible,  and  the  gathering  such  of  them 
into  compact  groups,  is  like  the  reconnoitring  of  a  vast

disbanded  host,  the  summoning  of  parts  of  it  into  one 
limited  field,  and  the  sorting  of  such  selected  members 
into  companies  and  smaller  squads ;  and  it  is  then  at 
first  perplexing  to  fix  upon  a  definite  reviewing-point, 
and  to  decide  upon  the  order  in  which  the  selected 
but  still  motley  legion,  when  arranged,  shall  march 
past.     Since,  however,  Man  has  formed  one  of  the 
oldest  of  our  generic  or  root-names,  it  may  perhaps 
claim  the   foremost  place   in   any  catalogue  of  his 
Nomenclature.   The  original  characteristic,  peculiarity, 
or  accident  from  which  many  a  man  derived  his  first 
distinctive  cognomen  may  have  long  been  effaced  in 
his  posterity,  so  that  it  is  well  for  him  that  if  the 
name  he  inherits  be  disparaging  a  man  may  be  "  a 
man  for  a'  that,"  even  when  in  Namebooks  he  is  seen 
in  the  unmanly  form  of  Notman,  again  in  the  imper- 
fectly-developed forms  of  Quarterman  and  Halfman, 
and  again  in  the  diminutives  of  Dollman,  Manikin, 
Boyman,  Smallman,  Lowman,  and  Short-man :  arrived 
at  the  full  stature  of  Man  and  AUman,  he  rises  into 
Highman,    Tollman,   and    Talkrtnan;    expands  into 
Ampletnan,  Bigman,  Longman,  and  Overman;  multi- 
plies into  Ttcoman,  Tenneman,  Ticentyman,  and  Forty- 
man;  and  between  Youngman  and  Oldman,  Richman 
and  Poorman,  Gentleman  and  Grumman,  Freedman 
and  Hiredman,  Trotman  and  Snailman,  Sageman  and 
Silliman,    Tidyman   and  Muddyman,    Grossman   and

Merry  man,  Goodman  and  Vileman,  Sickman  and 
Strongman,  and  before  he  appears  at  length  asDeadman, 
he  will  be  found  to  have  exhausted  a  copious  vocabu- 
lary of  compounds  in  the  varying  description  of  his 
person  and  his  properties  and  his  pursuits. 

Turning  from  Man  in  his  simple  and  his  compound 
form  and  tracing  him  in  his  Growth  and  Kinship,  we 
find  that  all  the  stages  which  separate  life  from  death — 
a  Baby  from  a  Deadman — and  all  the  varied  relation- 
ship of  life,  have  supplied  him  with  a  Name.  In  these 
he  stands  as  Parent  and  Child,  Son  and  Heir,  Lover, 
Bridegroom,  Husband  and  Father;  Daughter,  Bride, 
Wife  and  Mother;  Brother  and  Sister,  Grandchild, 
Uncle,  Nephew,  Cousin,  Godson,  and  in  other  grades 
which  are  even  more  minutely  denoted  in  Namebooks 
than  in  the  "  Table  of  Kindred  and  Affinity  "  con- 
tained in  the  Prayer-book,  which  at  its  outset  warns 
a  Man  that  he  may  not  marry  with  his  Grandmother. 
The  wholesome  prohibitions  of  the  "  Table  "  provoke 
a  comparison  with  the  wholesale  licence  of  Directories, 
into  which,  if  we  look  with  a  view  to  the  matrimonial 
alliances  against  which  they  offer  no  impediment,  we 
see  no  respect  for  Levitical  or  any  other  restraint,  nor 
any  just  cause  why  a  Grandchild  may  not  marry  a 
Mother;  why  a  male  Girl  may  not  be  joined  in  holy 
bonds  to  a  female  Trimboy;  masculine  Spinsters  and 
Brides  to  feminine  Bachelors  and  Youny husbands;  a

Miss  Husband  to  a  Mr.  Wife.  We  may  meet  a  Fair- 
mayden  and  a  Strangewornan  in  man-shape,  and  a 
motherly  Virgin  who  is  sans  reproche.  The  laws  of 
society  are  so  pliant  that  Bales  may  be  the  grandams 
of  Widows,  a  Child  the  father  of  a  Man,  a  Matron 
the  spouse  of  a  Twin.  In  actual  life  many  Sucklings 
have  greyer  heads  than  Seniors,  many  an  .E&fcr  is  the 
junior  of  a  Younger,  and  an  infant  may  be  an  Adult 
at  the  very  moment  of  its  birth. 

Dear  to  man  are  his  own  flesh  and  blood,  and  in  his 
urgent  need  of  a  Name  to  distinguish  him  in  the  body 
we  find  him  freely  appropriating  its  attributes  and 
members.  With  or  without  help  from  Science  he  has 
named  himself  or  been  surnamed  as  Soul,  Spirit, 
Conscience,  Reason,  Memory,  Will,  Fancy,  Witt;  as 
Body  and  as  Self.  He  is  known  also  as  a  Frame,  and 
in  his  range  over  the  human  one  he  has  gone  from  the 
crown  of  the  head  to  the  sole  of  the  foot — from  Hair 
and  SI- till  and  Brain  to  Heel  and  Toe,  and  even  to  the 
toe's  worrying  excrescence,  as  in  Corn,  Cornfoot,  and 
Corneyfoot.  So  stand  him  in  this  necessary  stead 
Limbs,  Bones,  and  Blood;  Sinews  and  Arteries  ;  Head, 
Pate  and  Noddle ;  Eyes,  Ears,  Nose,  Mouth,  Chin, 
Tongue,  Tooth,  Voice;  Neck,  Bosom>  Back  and  Belly;

another — yea  almost  every  other  component  in  man's 
most  wonderful  anatomy. 

Of  Names  to  he  respected  in  virtue  of  their 
antiquity,  of  very  high  rank  are  those  which  were 
derived  from  men's  CALLINGS  or  VOCATIONS  in  the 
field  of  labour.  As  soon  as  it  was  appointed  unto 
Adam  to  delve  and  unto  Eve  to  spin,  the  vocations  of 
the  Tiller  and  the  Taylor  were  originated,  although 
at  this  date  the  most  recondite  inquirer  might  fail  to 
discover  which  employment  had  precedence — the 
cultivation  of  the  soil  or  the  fashioning  of  aprons. 
The  Alpha  of  the  alphabet — itself  a  name* — is  the  apt 
initial  of  such  early  occupations  as  the  Archer,  the 
Arrowsmith,  and  the  Arkwright.  The  callings  of  the 
Smith,  Heicer,  Dauber,  Joyner,  Fitter,  Plowright, 
Hunter,  Herdsman,  Shepherd,  etc.,  were  such  as  Ne- 
cessity would  soon  he  teaching  the  primitive  fathers 
of  our  race,  and  they  their  sons.  The  craft  in  which 
Tubal  Cain  comes  down  to  us  as  first  named  artificer, 
that  of  the  Smith,  is  without  an  equal  as  the  propa- 
gator of  patronymics:  it  has  been  said  to  surname  by 
far  the  largest  of  our  English  families,!  and  to  be  "  the

t  In  the  registry  of  one  year  (1865)  the  births  in  Ihe  nix  most 
fecund  families  were  as  follows: — Smith,  10,505;  Jones,  9619; 
Williams,  6198;  Taylor,  5033;  Davies,  4547;  £roicn,  4416.  In 
point  of  fertility  the  Joneses  pursue  the  Smiths  so  closely  that  in  a

most  common  name  throughout  all  European  coun- 
tries/'* From  reliable  data  in  this  respect  we  learn 
that  the  number  of  children  who  in  the  year  1865 
were  born  inheritors  of  this  name  was  10,505,  while  the 

cycle  of  seventeen  years  the  latter  were  in  a  majority  of  3137  only. 
— See  article  on  "  Surnames"  in  Cornhill  Magazine  of  April  1868 ; 
but  the  Rev.  C.  W.  Bardsley  reverses  the  numerical  status  of  the 
two  families,  remarking  recently,  in  a  lecture  on  Surnames  at  Leeds, 
that  there  were  then  in  England  260,000  Joneses  and  240,000  Smiths. 

*  It  is  interesting  to  follow  ubiquitous  "  John  Smith"  under 
the  guidance  of  a  writer  in  The  Leisure  Hour,  who  says  of  the  name 
of  Smith,  "  Disguised  it  may  sometimes  be,  and  it  does  sometimes 
affect  a  spelling  above  the  common,  appearing  as  Smyth,  Smythe, 
or  de  Smythe.  It  also  in  England  assumes  a  Latin  guise  (from 
ferrum),  and  becomes  Ferriers  and  Ferrars,  one  of  the  noble  names 
of  England,  associated  also  with  a  tragedy  not  noble  either  in  its 
character  or  consequences.  In  Germany  we  have  the  Schmids ;  in 
Italy  the  Fabri,  Fabricia,  or  Fabbroni.  In  France  the  Le  Febres 
or  Lefevres.  Although  most  of  the  European  languages  adhere 
more  closely  to  the  old  northern  name,  even  in  Latin  we  have 
volumes  in  our  library  by  Johannes  Smithus,  and  we  have  seen  in 
Italy  Giovanni  Smitti.  The  Spaniard's  version  of  John  Smith  ia 
Juan  Smithus  ;  the  Dutchman  adopts  it  as  Hans  Schmidt ;  the 
French  soften  it  into  Jean  Smeets  ;  the  Russian  roughens  it  into 
Jouloff  Smittowski.  John  Smith  goes  into  the  tea  trade  with  China, 
and  then  he  becomes  Jahon  Shimmit.  Among  the  Icelanders  he 
is  Jahne  Smithson ;  among  the  Tuscaroras  he  is  Tom  Qu  Smittia ; 
in  Poland,  Ivan  Schmittiavciski ;  among  the  Welsh  we  are  told 
they  talk  of  Jihom  Schmidd ;  in  Mexico  he  is  written  down  as 
Joutli  F'Smitri;  among  the  classical  ruins  of  Greece  he  becomes 
Ion  Sinihton ;  in  Turkey  he  is  almost  lost  sight  of  as  Yeo  Seef. 
Philology  also  assures  us  that  those  ancient  names  of  the  kings  of 
Syria,  Hadad  and  Benhadad,  are  the  equivalents  of  our  Smith  and 
Smithson,  as  the  terms  pontiff  or  pontifex  point  back  to  the  time 
when  the  chief  man  was  he  who  built  bridges  or  constructed  roads."

Taylors  begat  5,033.  Some  names  derived  from  voca- 
tions, and  others  suggested  it  may  be  by  peculiarity  of 
character  or  habits  of  life,  have  a  somewhat  odd  appear- 
ance when  seen  as  surnames — as  Doctor,  Apothecary, 
Quack,  Patient,  and  Nurse ;  Coward,  Henman,  and  Hero; 
Landlord,  Owner,  Steward,  Lessee,  Renter;  Borrower, 
Lender,  Spender;  Patriot,  Citizen,  Cavalier,  Courtier,

Then  as  we  scrutinise  the  units  which  make  up  the 
motley  catalogue  of  Names  derived  from  Occupations, 
a  sense  of  drollery  is  stirred,  sometimes  by  what  is  con- 
gruous and  again  by  what  is  the  reverse  of  congruous, 
in  the  coupling  of  certain  Surnames  with  the  Vocations 
whereunto  their  owners  have  been  called  in  the  busi- 
ness of  life.  In  the  actual  union — which  we  meet 
with — of  Hallowes,  Godley,  Shepherd,  Guide,  Sanctuary 
and  Church  with  functions  ministerial,  and  Papall  as 
a  Komish  priest,  one  sees  peculiar  fitness;  so  also  in

Benison,*  but  the  contrary  in  Bans  and  Banfather  as 
applied  to  men  given  to  bless ;  in  Wroth  as  surnaming  a 
messenger  of  peace ;  in  Downward  to  one  whose  special 
mission  it  is  to  allure  upward,  and  in  Pagan  as  deno- 
minating a  Christian  English  priest.  Again,  there  is 
evident  congruity  in  Bowman,  Slaughter,  Kill,  Cannon, 
Gun,  Musket,  Thunder,  Gash,  Gore,  Valiant,  and 
Shakespear,  as  appellations  of  men  in  naval  and 
military  command ;  of  Skipper  as  captain  of  a  ship,  and 
Cruise  as  a  mariner,  and  Wherry  as  a  boatman,  and 
Bythesea  and  Main  for  those  who  live  upon  it;  of  Rule 
as  the  head  of  a  department;  of  Caudle,  Vials,  and 
Planter,  in  the  practice  of  medicine;  of  Tug  well  as  a 
tooth  extractor;  of  Gatherer  as  a  collector  of  customs; 
of  Earthy  as  a  surveyor  of  land ;  of  Mutton  as  pre- 
siding at  shambles,  and  Clinker  at  a  blacksmith's  forge ; 
of  Gammon  in  the  sale  of  millinery;  of  Lever  in  the 
line  of  watchmaking,  and  Whip  in  that  of  saddlery, 
and  Boots  in  that  of  leather,  and  Stocking  in  that  of

Truefit,  Rumfit,  and  Shears,  in  the  art  tailoric;  of 
Tapster  and  Tippler^  as  beer  retailers,  and  of  Mixieell

books  provide  for  every  quality  an  opposing  one,  so  Beniton  has

as  a  publican,  and  Pickles  as  a  dealer  therein.  It 
seems  like  necromancy  that  a  tiny  Pie  should  expand 
into  a  pastry-cook — like  a  lusus  natures  that  a  Locust 
should  be  a  cultivator  and  not  a  devastator  of 
herbs.  On  the  side  of  incongruity  the  names  of  Rude 
as  designating  a  teacher  of  politeness,  and  Wildgoose 
as  a  trainer  of  youth,  have  an  inconsistent  look,  and 
so  has  Want  when  met  with  in  the  court-sphere. 
The  name  of  Plenty  consorts  well  with  the  ideal  of

harmony  is  that  of  Heaven  with  attorneyship, 
and  equally  doubtful  that  of  Heaven  with  physic; 
so  at  first  sight  is  that  of  Paradise  with  a  smithy, 
yet  in  this  last  instance  how  touchingly  has  a  line 
of  Longfellow  made  that  association  euphonious.* — 
It  is  soothing  to  find  in  the  Turpin  of  to-day  a 
friendly  and  not  a  hostile  inspector  of  police ;  it  has  a 
shocking  propriety  that  in  criminal  records  a  wife 
named  Slaughter  should  have  stabbed  her  husband,  a 
female  Fury  be  guilty  of  fierce  assault,  and  a  Mistress

free-and-easy  as  a  contriver  at  stealthy  tippling.  The 
known  affection  of  a  child  for  sweets  may  soften  our 
surprise  at  meeting  with  Cupid  in  a  grocer's  shop ;  but 
a  threaded  needle  brandished  on  a  tailor's  shop-board 
is  not  a  seemly  weapon  in  the  grasp  of  Mars  ;*  while 
there  is  a  mesalliance  which  is  altogether  ludicrous  in 
the  linking-up  of  Venus  with  tallow-chandlery,  and  in 
Virgo  as  snatched  from  the  Constellations  to  surname 
a  retailer  of  tobacco.  Spirits  which  are  "  finely  touch- 
ed "  may  shrink  from  a  contrast  of  the  primal  Eve  in 
Eden's  fragrant  bowers  with  a  present  Eve  (alas,  from 
what  height  fallen!)  retailing  beer  by  licence  in  a 
city's  fetid  back-slum ;  and  who  would  expect  to  meet 
with  Santa-Maria  stranded  in  a  British  port — not 
prayed  unto  but  with  petition  filed — by  adverse  trade- 
winds  driven  into  financial  straits,  compelled  in  con- 
sequence to  wind-up,  and  at  the  last  issue  of  the  local 
Directory  left  "  In  liquidation." 

If  the  saying  that  "  Nature  hath  framed  strange 
fellows  in  her  time  "  needed  support,  it  is  supplied  by

stitute Surnames,  and  which,  when  classified,  form

character  and  physically  as  to  form,  man's  reach  after 
names  has  embraced  the  widest  extremes.  Thus,  on 
the  side  of  almost  superhuman  virtue  we  find  him 
surnamed  as  Divine,  Holy,  Godley,  Allgood,  Perfect, 
Faultless,  Peerless,  Innocent;  normally  he  stands  as 
Frail;  and  in  his  darker  aspect  is  seen  as  Base,  Evil, 
Vile,  and  Allsin.  He  is  Good  and  Best  and  Bester, 
and  he  is  Bad  and  Badder  and  Wurst.  The  surname 
Good  has  been  a  favourite  root,  from  which  the  off- 
shoots are  prolific :  that  of  GoodenougJi  (according  to 
Mr.  Ferguson,)  started  from  Anglo-Saxon  Godulf, 
which  by  phonetic  addition  became  Godenulf,  which  in 
its  next  form  became  the  Goodenough  we  see.  It  is 
not  within  the  scope  of  these  pages  to  enlarge  upon 
original  derivations,  but  this  one  is  cited  because  the 
name  of  Goodenough,  whose  growth  has  been  thus 
learnedly  traced,  has  somewhere  upon  the  Scottish 
border  its  opposite  in  the  form  of  Baddeneuch.  Then 
again  we  find  Allgood,  Thoroughgood,  Bisgood,  and 
Toogood;  in  other  forms  it  appears  as  Gathergood 
and  Scattergood,  and  as  Goodman,  Goodlad,  Goodlass, 
Goodfellow,  Goodbody,  Goodluck,  and  many  others. 
Amusing  contrasts  diversify  these  names  which  corre- 
spond with  adjectives — as  Human  and  Divine,  Ancient 
and  Modern,  Good  and  Evil,  Holy  and  Vile;  Giddy 
and  Grave;  Wise,  Notwise;  Daft,  Clever;  Gentle, 
Bruff;  Grabby,  Gatherless;  Careful,  Careless;  Patientt

There  are  sundry  twin-forms  in  this  class  of  Names, 
as  Baldgrave,  Redgrave,  Feargrievc,  Goodrich,  Oldrich, 
and  Malnoir.  In  these  couplings  there  is  nothing 
incompatible,  but  a  few  are  made  up  of  antagonistic 
compounds,  as  in  the  name  ofFairfoul,  and  the  French 
one  (now  naturalised)  of  Malbon.  But  specimens  in 
this  latter  shape  are  rarely  met  with,  and  when  seen 
may  be  made  a  note  of.

Terrestrial  bounds  would  appear  as  not  to  have 
confined  the  seekers  after  a  Name,  for  out  of  both 
celestial  and  satanic  spheres  are  found  denominators 
identical  with  those  of  SPIRITUAL  BEINGS,  as  God, 
Christ,  Godman,  Saviour,  Messiah;  Ghost,  Demon. — 
Angel  somewhat  commonly  and  Seraphim  occasionally 
are  also  seen  as  surnames  of  men,  but  the  kindred 
term  of  Cherub  appears  to  have  been  unappropriated. 
From  terrestrial  offices  the  titles  of  Prophet  and 
Apostles  have  been  taken,  while  the  names  of  the 
sacred  prophets,  apostles,  and  evangelists  have  been 
favorite  patronymics;  and  there  is  something  amusing 
in  the  naivete  of  the  rural  English  mother,  who,  on 
presenting  her  fifth  male  child  at  the  baptismal  font, 
desired  that  it  might  be  christened  Acts,  explaining 
that  its  four  elder  brothers  having  been  called  after 
the  four  Evangelists,  the  father  was  now  disposed  (in 
the  person  of  the  tiny  mewler  in  the  priest's  arms,) 
to  compliment  the  Apostles  a-bit. 

RELIGIOUS  SPHERES  and  STRUCTURES  as  well  as 
Spiritual  Beings  and  Religious  Functionaries  have 
been  drawn  upon  for  designations.  In  his  spiritual  range 
man  has  embraced  both  God  and  Demon,  in  his  choice 


18  ON    SURNAMES 

among  Structures  he  has  availed  himself  of  a  Sanctuary, 
Shrine,  Chantrey,  Font,  and  Altar;  of  Temples, 
Minsters,  Abbeys,  and  Colleges;  of  Churches,  Chapek, 
Kirks,  and  Tabernacles;  of  Bishopricks,  Parsonages, 
Vicarages,  and  Nunneries;  Steeples,  Spires,  Vanes, 
Towers,  Campaniles,  and  Churchyards;  while  in  his 
choice  of  Spheres  he  has  descended  from  Heaven  to 
Hell — from  Paradise  to  a  Pew  and  Stall. 

The  Anglo-Saxon,  though  constitutionally  slow  and  in 
many  emergencies  unready,  has  not  been  less  interested 
than  other  races  in  providing  for  his  body's  NOURISH- 
MENT; indeed  his  devotion  to  the  festive  board  is  the 
well-worn  theme  of  jesters,  both  foreign  and  home- 
born.  In  this  vein  and  in  some  such  words  a  departed 
humorist  not  long  ago  observed,  that  were  an  earth- 
quake suddenly  to  deposit  England  at  the  antipodes,  a 
party  of  our  countrymen  would  next  day  be  assembling 
at  a  public  dinner  there  in  celebration  of  the  event ; 
and  verily,  in  taking  note  of  the  machinery  by  which 
much  British  philanthropy  is  moved  into  action,  it 
would  seem  that  a  stomach  comfortably  filled  is  pre- 
essential  to  a  generous  unlocking  of  the  heart.  A 
similar  condition  of  body  applies  also  to  British  valour, 
if  faith  may  be  placed  in  the  reputed  saying  of  a 
commander,  who  pronounced  as  types  of  the  best 
fighting  men,  an  Irishman  half-drunk,  a  Scotchman

half-starved,  and  an  Englishman  with  his  belly  full. 
The  Englishman  as  a  feeder  may  be  more  hearty  than 
fastidious,  and  it  may  be  none  the  worse  for  him  or  his 
little  island  that  he  is  so ;  but  of  this  poor  Isle  of  his — 
so  pitilessly  derided  by  continental  gourmands,  even 
while  under  her  shelter* — it  must  be  confessed  that 
hitherto  Gastronomy  has  not  been  her  greatness  or  her 
boast.  In  other  sciences,  and  in  other  spheres  than 
the  cuisine,  she  has  in  some  manner  managed  upon 
rude  victual  to  rear  sundry  specimens  of  the  genus 
MAN,  which  do  her  no  discredit  by  foreign  comparisons ; 
but  who  has  she  in  the  army  of  her  Kitchen  Chiefs  to 
compare  with  a  Soyer  ?  and  at  their  formal  feasts  her 
sons  still  sit  down  under  the  humiliation  of  asking  in 
a  foreign  phraseology  for  what  they  desire  to  eat. 
Still,  with  more  regard  for  plenty  than  for  artistic 
preparation,  the  ancient  Anglo-Saxon  ate  and  drank 
with  a  lusty  if  not  a  luxurious  relish,  and  his  posterity, 
in  their  restless  quest  for  names,  would  not  unnaturally 
fix  their  minds  upon  substances  which  had  proved 
grateful  to  their  bodies: — an  Englishman's  nourish- 
ments have  therefore  both  supplied  his  bodily  necessities 
and  enlarged  his  Nomenclature.  The  elements  of  food 

*  Some  readers  may  remember  the  disgust  of  an  old  French 
emigre,  who  pronounced  England  to  be  unendurable  as  a  country 
to  live  in  from  her  having  twenty-four  religions  and  only  one  soup, 
no  ripe  fruit  but  roasted  apples,  and  because  that  every  Englishman 
destroyed  his  own  health  in  drinking  to  the  health  of  his  neighbour.

delicacies  it  would  seem  he  had  especial  favour :  the 
pre-historic  Pudding  is  seen  among  his  surnames,  as 
•well  as  its  ingredients  of  Plum,  Egg,  Hardegg,  Suet, 
Peel,  and  Sugar,  with  Sauce;  so  too  are  Pye,  Paste, 
Mince,  Tart,  Custard,  Dumplin,  and  other  delectables ;

cognomens  include  the  condiments  of  Salt,  Mustard, 
Pepper,  Vinegar,  Oil,  Curry,  and  Pickles,  with  Mace, 
Spice,  Cloves,  and  Ginger.  In  the  same  list  also 
are  the  beverages  which  usually  accompany  solid 
fare,  such  as  Water,  Ale  and  Goodale,  Beer  and

Goodbeer,*  Porter,  and  Perry;  in  Wine,  the  varieties 
of  Champagne,  Claret,  Sack,  Sherry,  Portwine,  Hock,

Brandy,  Rum,  Goodrum,  and  Gin,  with  Negus,  Purl,

in  culinary  use  are  present  in  Cook,  Roast,  Bake,  Fry, 
Boil,  Stew,  Simmer,  Scorch;  Mash,  Garnish,  Curdle; 
Done,  Underdone,  and  Raw.  To  surnames  of  this  class 
may  be  added  others  of  an  aspect  more  allied  to  coarse 
carousing  than  the  feast  of  reason — terms  which  smack 
of  rude  mediaeval  revelry,  are  suggestive  of  black-jacks 
and  unbridled  appetites,  and  of  hours  horrifying  to 
Lord  Aberdare.  Of  such  are  Gobble,  Cram,  Stuffin;

traction of  the  fuller  name  of  Goodbehere,  the  devout  beer-drinker 
may  in  this  latter  form  say  grace  over  his  tankard  as  he  quaffs. 
Goodbehere  might  once  have  stood  as  Godbehere,  and  in  that  form

The  question  "  What  shall  we  cat  ?"  has  in  variable 
climates  been  of  scarcely  greater  moment  to  man-and- 
womankind  than  this  other,  "  "Wherewithal  shall  we 
be  clothed?"  and  the  RAIMENT  which  protects  the 
body,  like  the  food  which  preserves  it,  contributes  to 
our  national  Namebook.  In  making  common  use  as 
surnames  of  the  members  of  his  body,  man  travels 
from  Head  to  Toe; — so  with  regard  to  its  apparel  he  has 
gone  from  Hat  and  Bonnet  to  Boot,  Shoe,  Sittingshoe, 
Slipper,  Sandle,  and  Stocking.  Among  these  names 
that  of  Hatt  deserves  to  be  especially  noted  for  its  an- 
tiquity, since  in  a  document  quoted  in  Turner's  History 
of  the  Anglo-Saxons  mention  is  made  of  an  Anglo-Saxon 
family  named  "  Hwita  Hatte  "  (White  Hatt*),  which 
document  is  said  to  have  "  every  appearance  of  being

into  modern  costume  and  expand  the  literature  of  mo-

scanty,  and  the  wardrobe  was  but  humble  with  the 
contents  of  which  our  present  surnames  correspond. 
Among  the  articles  of  feminine  attire  which  are  also 
worn  as  names  are  Gown,  Boddice,  Petty  coat,  Stocking, 
Garter,  Pelisse,  Bonnet*  Cap,  Vail,  Shawl,  Tippet,

Nethercoat,  Topcoat,  Taylecoat,  Narrowcoat,  and  West-

There  are  also  Surplice,  Gaiter,  Overall,  Legging,  and 
Wrapp.  The  names  of  Rag  and  Tatters,  Ragless  and 
Tattersall,  depict,  even  if  they  were  not  suggested  by,

being  first  had  to  locality,  we  meet  with  such  desig- 
nations as  Country,  Province,  County,  Shire,  City, 
Town,  Freeborough,  Parish,  Manor,  Village,  Hamlet, 
Street,  Lane,  and  Slum;  while  the  simple  forms  of 
House  and  Home  are  supplemented  by  many  varieties, 
from  Hovell,  Hutt,  Cott,  Cottage,  Hermitage,  and 
Hospital,  to  Lodge,  Castle,  Mansion,  and  Pallace  ;  a 
Fireside,  Ingle,  and  Hearth ;  Shop  and  Office ;  and  all 
the  requirements  once  conceivable  in  architecture. 
The  catalogue  is  both  curious  and  amusing  from  its 
comprehensiveness :  in  it  (among  details  hereafter  set 
forth  more  fully,)  are  Rooms,  Chambers,  Bellchambers, 
and  Towers;  a  Parlour,  Pantry,  Kitchen,  Laundry, 
Buttery,  Garrett,  and  Cellars;  Stairs  and  Banisters; 
a  Terrace,  Gallery,  and  Lobby,  with  Lawn,  Garden, 
and  Yard;  a  Court,  Square,  Gate,  Porch,  and  Griil, 
with  sundry  outworks  as  Stable,  Manger,  Loft,  TaUd, 
Barn,  Garner,  Shed,  Mill,  Windmill,  Ovens,  Dairy, 
Shcepwash,  and  Kiln.  We  meet  also  with  Doors, 
Windows,  and  Shutters;  Chimneys,  Roofs,  Eaves, 
Gables,  Piers,  Walk,  Seawalls,  Buttresses;  together 
with  such  surroundings  as  in  earlier  days  best  made 
an  Englishman's  house  his  castle — a  Fort,  Keep,  Moat, 
Camp,  Garrison,  and  Barrack. 

But  besides  his  home  on  terra  firma  the  Englishman 
has  another  in  his  floating  one,  the  SHIP — which  in  a 


IN    FAMILY    OEOUPmOS.  25 

double  sense  is  his  castle's  main  security.  Himself  by 
Nature  seagirt  and  by  Grace  prolific,  the  instinct  is  a 
happy  one  which  inclines  so  many  of  his  family  to 
prefer  salt-water  to  the  soil,  and  prepares  them  to  take 
as  kindly  to  the  rolling  wave  as  to  the  rocking  cradle. 
Cabined  and  confined  on  land,  it  may  be  that  this  all- 
surrounding  ocean  outlet  has  made  the  Englander  the 
most  restless  and  undaunted  of  explorers  and  his  flag  the 
best-known  piece  of  bunting  in  the  universe ; — is  he 
not  aspiring  yet  to  fly  it  from  the  Northern  Pole? 
Naturally  then  the  Ship  of  his  love  and  pride  must  have 
its  share  in  surnaming  his  progeny ;  and  thus  do  we 
see  them  responding  to  Sea  and  Main,  Wave,  Brine, 
Billows,  Swell;  Navy  and  Fleet;  Ship,  Goodahip,  Ship-

Boatman;  with  numerous  other  nautical  phrases  as 
Steer,  Row,  Tow,  Cruise,  Tack,  Luff,  Luff  man,  Star- 
board, and  Wind'ard.

in  culinary  requisites  are  Knives,  Forkes,  and  Spoons; 
Pails,  Pitchers,  Pipkins,  Pots,  Pans,  Cans,  Kettles, 
Bowk,  and  Buckets;  a  Dresser  and  Shelf,  with  all  its 
appertainings  in  Crocks,  Trenchards,  Delf,  Ware, 
Hardware,  Juggs,  Muggs,  and  Tankards.  There  are 
fixtures  represented  in  Hooks  and  Crooks,  Stoves, 
Kitcheners,  Forges,  and  Furnaces;  and  in  a  mass  of 
sundries  are  Rugys,  Strawmats,  Rope,  and  Ropeyarn  ;

Cleaver,  Gimblett,  Hone,  Hatchet,  Wedge,  Trowel, 
Pick,  Hammer,  Nails,  Mallet,  Mattock,  Shuttle,  File,

If  the  appellations  whereby  men  are  known  had 
been  always  of  their  own  choosing,  it  would  betoken 
a  morbid  brooding  over  infirmities  which  first  led 
suffering  mortals  to  surname  themselves  after  THE 
ILLS  THAT  FLESH  is  HEIR  TO.  But  many  designa- 
tions have  been  adopted,  imposed,  or  corrupted  in  the 
using  which  now  describe  the  sores  to  which  man  is 
subjected  from  the  crown  of  his  head  to  the  sole  of  his 
foot;  and  therefore  do  we  sometimes  accost  our  fellow- 
men — themselves  not  more  afflicted  than  their  fellows

Wisdom,  Witt,  or  Doggrell  would  be  certain  to  pursue 
him  to  his  burying-place  and  carve  his  gravestone

by  others  designated  after  the  Maladies  which  distress 
life,  and  some  have  been  becalled  by  the  grosser

other  Nameseekers  should  have  been  attracted  by 
LOVE,  the  Master-Passion  which  both  distracts  life  and 
delights  it — by  turns  the  inflicter  and  the  soother  of 
human  woes  and  wounds.  In  this  present  day  when

cation and  her  right  to  be  his  professional  adviser  in

in  Menlove ;  and  a  passive  one  in  Wellbeloved.  In  the

quotidian  [or  fever]  of  love  upon  him."—"  As  You  like  it" 

t  Remarking  on  the  degradation  and  debasement  of  certain 
languages,  Archbishop  Trench  refers  to  that  of  Van  Diemen's 
Land,  in  the  native  language  of  which  island  there  are  four  words 
which  express  the  taking  of  human  life,  "  while  any  word  for  love 
is  wanting  in  it  altogether." — "  On  tht  Study  of  Words"

Loveman  and  Lovewell,  and  the  accessories  of  Lovebond 
and  Lovering;  while  Marriage ,  Wedlock,  Bridal,  and 
Bridecake  are  at  hand — as  also  is  the  cordial  to  follow,

How  long  mere  titular  distinction  may  confer  honor 
or  command  respect,  or  even  co-exist  with  universal 
suffrage  and  the  possible  transfer  of  political  power 
from  the  lords  of  creation  to  the  ladies,  is  a  question 
too  problematical  to  be  debated  in  limited  pages.  But 
it  is  evident  that  TITLES  or  DIGNITY  had  a  strong 
attraction  for  our  ancestors,  since  almost  every  known 
title  has  supplied  a  Surname.  It  thus  follows  that  in 
the  common  walks  of  life  one  may  now  freely  consort 
with  Monarchs,  Kaisers,  and  Kings  whom  he  is  not 
bound  by  loyalty  to  honor,  with  Queens  to  whom  he 
owes  no  allegiance,  with  Princes  in  whom  he  puts  no 
special  trust,  with  Peers,  Dukes,  Marquises,  Earls, 
Courts,  Barons,  Lords,  and  Nobles  in  no  wise  nobler 
than  himself.  He  may  foregather  with  uncrested 
Knights  in  every  shire,  with  Marshals  whose  most 
familiar  baton  is  a  walking-stick,  with  Commanders 
only  too  ready  to  be  commanded,  with  Centurions  not 
boastful  of  authority.  He  may  freely  mix  with 
Mayors,  Provosts,  Aldermen,  and  Burgesses;  with 
Chamberlains  and  Heralds;  with  Judges,  Sheriffs, 
Counsel,  and  Constables.  In  short,  with  the  Directory

as  with  a  detective  of  police,  one  possesses  the  open 
sesame  to  all  society,  and  by  its  light  one  sees  a  new 
significancy  in  the  adage  that  "  a  Cat  may  look  at  a 
King." 

Then  in  the  order  of  RELIGIOUS  DIGNITARIES,  and 
with  or  without  clerical  proclivities,  the  traveller 
through  Directories  may  have  fellowship  with  Popes 
who  make  no  claim  to  Infallibility,  with  Cardinals  of 
no  college,  and  Legates  with  no  commission,  and 
Bishops  of  no  diocese.  He  may  associate  with  Deans, 
Archdeacons,  Ministers,  Chaplains,  Vicars,  Curates, 
Priests,  and  Deacons :  with  Abbots  and  Monks  jovial 
or  devout,  with  Friars  of  habits  manifold,  and  may 
keep  lawful  company  with  veiled  and  unveiled  Nuns. 
And  as  among  secular  dignities  the  Directory  was 
his  passport  from  royalty  to  beadledom,  so  through  the 
ecclesiastical  hierarchy  it  is  the  vade  mecum  with 
which  he  may  make  acquaintance  with  dignitaries  of 
every  degree — from  an  'Oil/father,  Pope,  or  Pontifex 
unwont  to  bless  or  ban,  to  a  Sexton  unused  to  bury. 
Akin  to  these  denominators  are  those  of  Prophet  and 
Apostles,  Seer,  Christian,  Jew,  Pharrisee,  Gentile, 
Pagan,  Churchman,  and  Baptist,  which  are  met  with 
as  surnames  in  common  or  in  uncommon  use. 

The  BEASTS  of  the  Field,  the  BIRDS  of  the  Air,  and 
the  FISHES  of  the  Sea  are  large  contributors  of 


IN    FAMILY    GROUPINGS.  33 

surnames  to  the  family  of  their  lord  and  master.  To 
be  obliged  to  write  himself  Ass,  as  the  born  inheritor 
of  that  name,  might  in  these  days  induce  a  person 
under  such  compulsion  to  bless  the  statute  provided 
for  the  shelving  of  obnoxious  surnames;  yet  Ass,  on 
the  authority  of  Mr.  Lower,  is  an  English  surname; 
but  the  object  now  associated  with  the  name  differs  so 
greatly  from  that  which  the  derivative  word  signified, 
that  (as  another  learned  writer  observes,)  it  "  may 
perchance  have  to  be  elevated  from  a  donkey  to  a 
demi-god."  The  vocal  utterances  of  the  Horse  are 
represented  in  Neigh,  of  the  Ass  in  Bray,  of  the  Colt 
in  Wicker;  those  of  the  Ox  in  Bellow,  and  of  the 
Sheep  in  Baa.  In  its  simple  substantive  form  "  Horse" 
does  not  appear  to  have  been  adopted  as  a  name,  but 
it  is  found  in  the  compounds  of  Horseman  and  While- 
horse  and  in  the  quality  of  Horsey;  while  every  animal 
allied  to  the  Horse  is  met  with  as  an  English  surname. 
Thus  we  have  Stallion  and  Mare,  Foal  and  Colt,  Hack, 
Hackney,  Cobb,  Courser,  Galloway,  Gilley,  Gelding, 
Palfrey,  Pony,  and  Steed;  we  meet  also  with  Mules. 
Howl,  Bark,  Tell,  and  Yapp,  describe  attributes  of 
the  "  faithful  Dog  who  bears  man  company,"  though 
not  in  that  simple  form  in  namebooks;  but  he  is 
present  there  in  other  forms,  as  Pupp,  Whelp,  Poodle, 
and  Curr;  in  the  feminine  gender  as  Bitch,  and  in 
certain  distinct  species,  as  Beagle,  Spaniel,  Pointer,

Setter,  Terrier,  and  Colky.  Another  group  of  names 
supplies  a  Kennel.  The  Cat  and  Kitten  are  present  in 
those  shapes,  and  in  Pussey  and  Mouser,  likewise  in 
Mew  and  Pur :  so  also  are  Hat,  Mouse,  and  Mm.  Of 
cultivated  animals  are  Ox,  Bull,  Bullock,  Calf,  Heifer, 
Kine,  Ram,  Tupp,  Ewe,  Lamb,  Lambkin,  Sheep*  and 
Tegg;  Stag,  Deer,  Buck,  Doe,  Hart,  Roe,  Roebiwk, 
Hind,  and  Kidd;  Hogg,  Boare,  Wildboar,  Pig,  Porker, 
Hare,  Leveret,  Rabbit;  while  among  beasts  unclean 
are  Elephant,  Tiger,  Leopard,  Panther,  Bear,  Shebeare, 
Wolf,  Jackall,  Fox,  Ape,  and  Monkey.  If  only  the 
natures  of  men  were  correspondent  with  their  names 
how  many  domestic  exhibitions  of  "  a  happy  family  " 
would  human  life  present — for  therein  Lions  lie  down 
with  Lambs,  and  Reynards  coquette  with  Ducklings 
without  intention  to  devour. 

Large  reinforcements  to  such  "  happy  family  "  would 
flock  in  from  those  of  humankind  who  are  surnamed 
after  BIRDS,  in  which  collection  it  might  be  found  that 
without  incompatibility  or  disproportion  a  Wren  had 
mated  with  an  Eagle,  and  that  other  flutterings  than

in  Croak,  the  Rook's  in  Caw,  the  Duck's  in  Quack,  the 
Dove's  in  Coo.  We  come  also  upon  Nests  and  Nest-

Feathers,  Beak,  and  Talons. 

The  TENANTS  or  THE  DEEP,  from  Whale  to  Winkle, 
have  fallen  into  the  net  of  the  nameseeker.  Every 
Namebook  yields  a  haul  of  Fish,  pure  and  simple, 
and  there  have  been  instances  of  Rottenfysche ;  we 
find  also  the  terms  of  Fin,  Finny,  Roe,  Scales,  and 
Gill.  Of  fish  that  are  finny  are  the  Shark,  Pike, 
Jack;  Salmon,  Trout,  Grayling;  Turbot,  Plaice,  Sole, 
Brill,  Dab,  Flounders;  Turtle,  Sturgeon,  Dolphin,

Oysters,  Cockles,  Crabbs,  Mussells,  Wilks,  Shrimps,  &c. 
There  is  Herring  and  there  is,  or  was,  Rottenheryng ; 
simple  Whale,  Whalesbelly,  and  WJiakbone. 

The  names  of  a  few  objects  in  the  REPTILE  world 
and  its  borders  are  likewise  met  with  as  surnames,  but 
they  are  mostly  comprehended  in  Snake,  Viper,  Black- 
adder,  Boa,  Asp,  Evett,  Neuts,  Frogg,  Toad,  and 
Slugg.  In  the  group  of  compounds  in  "  Man "  we 
find  a  Snailman,  and  elsewhere  a  Trail. 

From  the  remotest  times  the  INSECT  family  has  lent

Antiquity  only  commands  affection  in  enthusiastic 
antiquaries,  or  if  a  love  for  what  is  simply  ancient  were 
strengthened  in  every  mind  by  the  lapse  of  ages,  a  Mr. 
Bug — who  some  years  since  availed  himself  of  a  con- 
siderate licence  of  the  law  and  assumed  the  name  of 
Howard,  vice  Bug — would  not  have  parted  with  so 
venerable  a  patronymic ;  for  (as  we  are  informed  by 
"Mr.  Kemble,  in  his  treatise  on  the  Names  and  Nic- 
names  of  the  Anglo-Saxons,)  in  two  charters  dated 
more  than  1000  years  ago,  two  Anglo-Saxon  ladies 
were  familiarly  known  by  the  synonyme  of  Bucge.

But  sages  differ  over  this  insect  of  ill  odour,  and 
another  learned  authority  regards  it  as  one  of  foreign 
importation,  and  not  the  founder  of  an  Anglo-Saxon 
name.*  The  Fly,  Flea,  Ant,  Emmett,  Earwig,  Grubb, 
Locust,  Magot,  Chafer,  Beetle,  Moth,  and  Butterfly,  lie 
among  the  leaves  of  our  Namebooks,  as  do  Hornet, 
Wasp,  and  Bee;  Honey  and  Honeycomb;  Swarm,

In  the  course  of  his  wide-reaching  quest  for  appella- 
tives man  has  not  only  seized  them  from  Heaven  and 
Earth,  he  has  also  "  marched  into  the  bowels  of  the 
land"  and  made  free  use  of  the  EARTH'S  CONSTITUENTS. 
Land  has  been^fertile  in  the  generation  of  compounds

not  be  afraid  of  any  bugs  by  night,'  in  an  old  version  of  the 
Scriptures,  referred  (he  adds,)  to  an  imaginary  and  not  a  real 
horror."

From  the  Earth's  components  we  pass  to  the  forms 
which  diversify  its  surface,  and  here  Directories  teem 
with  surnames  derived  from  or  descriptive  of  the 
visible  OBJECTS  or  NATURE.  In  such  an  excursion 
we  encounter  Glasiers,  Alps,  Mountains,  Cliff's,  Rocks, 
Craigs,  Peaks,  Torrs,  Hills,  and  Ridges ;  are  continu- 
ally in  view  of  Coverts,  Glens,  Gulkys,  Holes,  Hollows, 
Caves,  Pits,  Daks,  Summits,  Dells,  Dingles,  Bournes, 
Lanes,  and  Alleys;  move  among  Boggs,  Marshes, 
Dykes,  Ruts,  Trenches,  and  Fens ;  are  in  the  midst  of 
Forests,  Deserts,  Gorges,  Moors,  Woods,  Thickets; 
alongside  of  Banks  and  Hedges;  in  sight  of  Fields 
many,  of  Meads,  Meadows,  Crofts,  Paddocks,  Groves, 
Gardens,  Parks,  Orchards,  Lawns;  alight  on  Lakes, 
Rivers,  Streams,  Fords,  Floods,  Pooh,  Ponds;  pass 
Coasts,  Channels,  Creeks,  Coves,  Havens,  Harbours, 

Eatwell,  and  Drinktvater  or  Drinkmilk.  [There  was  in  1688  a 
Thomas  Drawwater  and  there  was  also  a  Dangerfull  Pitcher.

Fountains,  Waterfalls,  and  Puddles;  and  among  objects 
•which  are  more  of  Man's  device  than  Nature's,  are  in 
a  labyrinth  of  Streets,  Roads,  Ways,  Highways,  and 
Byways;  are  frequently  near  Wells,  Wharfs,  and 
Quays,  Townsends,  Waymarks,  Milestones,  and  Mines. 

Among  visible  objects  of  Nature,  TREES,  FLOWERS, 
and  FRUITS  pleasantly  relieve  our  namebooks.  Of  the 
former,  Tree  as  a  root-name  is  varied  in  Twelvetrees, 
Greentree,  Appletree,*  Peartree,  Crabtree,  Plumtree, 
Hawtree,  &c.  There  are  the  Palm,  Cedar,  Cork, 
Sycamore,  Beech,  Elm,  Pollard,  Shrubb,  Maple,  Bay, 
Laurel,  Myrtle,  Holly,  Elder,  Box,  Willow,  Aspen, 
Alder,  Privet,  Withy.  The  Oak  has  its  plural  of 
Sevenoaks  and  other  compounds,  and  its  fruit  the 
Acorn:  the  Ash  has  also  a  plural  in  the  form  of 
Fiveash.  A  natural  adjunct  to  Ivy  is  found  in  Ivyleaf, 
and  Thorn  has  pleasing  varieties  in  Sikerthorn,  Rose- 
thorn,  and  Blandthorn.  Might  a  keen  sense  of 
scourging  have  first  suggested  Birchenough  as  an 
expansion  of  Birch;  and  was  the  name  of  Yew,  when

the  material  it  provides,  supply  surnames — as  Root,

Sapp  and  Gum. 

In  the  company  of  FLORAL  NAMES  we  meet  with 
Flowers,  Garland,  and  Wreath,  each  implying  plurality; 
as  single  charmers,  with  the  pre-eminently  popular 
Rose,  sometimes  seen  as  Rosinbloom  and  Ryperoserf 
even  with  the  prefix  "  prim  "  an  established  favorite 
in  Primrose,  and  found  in  sundry  compounds  as 
Plantrosc  and  Pluckrose.  There  are  names  redolent 
of  odour  as  Violet,  Jessamine,  Gillyflower,  Cloves, 

*  Inchboard,  superficially  measured,  looks  perfectly  in  the  bosom 
of  its  own  family  as  it  stands,  and  judged  as  it  stands  might  argue 
that  the  man  who  first  employed  it  was  intent  on  putting  a  very 
fine  point  to  his  designation.  But  stern  Philology  scatters  the 
crude  hypothesis,  and  will  not  suffer  us  to  see  in  Inchboard  a  piece 
of  raw  material  sawn  to  a  nicety,  but  a  rude^corruption  of  the 
Danish  name  of  Ingobert.  After  a  similar  fashion  learned  havoc  is 
made  with  the  name  of  Half  yard,  which  is  shown  to  be  an  alias  of 
Danish  Alfard.

flower-life  as  Slow,  Bloom,  Droop,  and  Wither.  And 
from  the  FRUITS  of  the  earth  men  have  borrowed 
names  in  an  alphabetical  range  from  Almond  to 
Walnut.  They  are  met  with  as  Apple,  Sweetappk, 
Codling,  Pippen ;  as  Pear  and  Quince,  Orange  and 
Lemon,  Vine  and  Grape,  Fig,  Raisin,  Date,  Filbert, 
Nutt  and  Nutty,  Pine,  Peach,  and  Peachey ;  and 
in  sundry  other  fruity  terms,  as  Juicy,  Orchard, 
Appkyard,  Vineyard,  Rind,  Peel,  and  Pipps. 

The  Garden  has  also  yielded  another  cluster  of  sur- 
names of  a  class  more  purely  Vegetable.  Of  such  are 
Cabbage,  Carrot,  Bean,  Pea,  Garlick,  Leek,  Onions^ 
Radish,  Lettice,  Spinnage,  Fennel,  Sage,  and  Parsley; 
Gourd,  Mallow,  Beet,  Gerkin,  Mustard  and  Cress, 
Kail,  Arrowroot,  and  Sago.  "Would  the  stinging  Nettle 
and  the  bitter  Rue,  the  irritating  Teasel  and  the

istics in  those  who  were  first  so  called?  As  in  a 
garden  of  herbs,  so  in  this  little  group  of  names,  we 
cannot  avoid  Weeds  and  Wedekind.

From  the  GRAIN  and  HERB  on  which  human  and 
animal  life  depend,  a  crop  of  surnames  may  be  gleaned 
from  our  Namebooks.  In  that  wide  field  we  gather 
WJicat,  Corn,  Grain,  Barky,  Matt,  Oats,  Beam,  Peas, 
Vetches,  Maize,  Rye,  Bran,  Pollard,  Meal,  Farina, 
Pulse,  Grass,  Clover,  Herbage,  Hay,  Straw,  Roots,  and

Crop,  Samples,  Stack,  Truss,  Sheaf,  Pook,  Haycock, 
Mow,  Husk,  Hull,  Chaffy,  and  Burr. 

The  TIMES  and  SEASONS,  the  HEAVENLY  BODIES 
which  govern  them,  the  DAYS  and  MONTHS  and  YEARS, 
if  they  were  not  all  originators  of  surnames  have  be- 
come a  part  and  parcel  of  them.  The  seasons  of  the 
year  did  not,  as  some  contend,  originate  the  names  of 
Spring,  Summer,  and  Winter,  or  we  might  reasonably 
wonder  at  the  absence  of  Autumn ;  but  we  group  them 
here  on  the  principle  of  a  prima-facie  relationship. 
"Year"  and  "Month"  are  not  yet  found  as  sur- 
names in  their  simple  form,  but  they  are  met  with  as 
compounds  in  Longyear,  Hardyear,  Redyear,  Fever- 
year,  and  Learmonth.  Midwinter  is  always  present, 
but  we  appear  to  have  no  Midsummer  among  our 
English  names.  The  ecclesiastical  year  is  marked  by 
Lent,  Larnma^,  Easter,  Easterday,  Whitsonday,  Pente- 
cost, Middlemas,  Halloween,  Christmas,  Yule,  and 
Noel;  the  months  are  represented  by  January,  March,

A  people  predestined  to  become  a  "  nation  of  shop- 
keepers "  would,  in  their  outlook  for  patronymics,  have 
had  instinctive  or  intuitive  respect  for  the  significant 
symbols  of  £.  s.  d.,  in  all  ages  of  absorbing  interest 
to  men's  business  and  bosoms.  Therefore  may  it  have 
come  to  pass  that  Mammon,  Lucre,  Monet/,  and  Cash, 
did  once  appropriately  designate  their  ardent  lovers, 
and-j-since  the  amor  nummi  is  a  clinging  lust — it  is 
possible  that  the  old  love  may  still  linger  in  some  in- 
heritors of  these  names.  The  Guinea,  Pound,  Mark, 


*  The  name  of  South  serves  as  a  reminder,  that  while  the  Bench 
and  the  Pulpit  have  not  always  subdued  the  impulse  of  humour 
in  men,  neither  has  the  staid  routine  of  the  Beading-desk.  The 
story  is  old  and  peihaps  well-known  of  a  curate  of  Dr.  South,  who 
is  said  to  have  suited  him  well,  and  after  long  service  to  have 
applied  to  the  Doctor  for  a  living  in  his  gift,  which  was  refused. 
Having  soon  afterwards  to  read  in  the  Doctor's  hearing  the  75th 
Psalm, he  thus  emphasized  the  7th  verse — "  Promotion  cometh  not 
from  the  east,  nor  from  the  west,  nor  yet  from  thee,  O  South  !  "

Penny  is  accumulative.  We  see  it  thus  in  Twopenny, 

*  The  surname  Crown  affords  an  interesting  instance  of  the  con- 
tinual literal  changes  which  certain  names  underwent  while  Ortho- 
graphy was  at  sea  and  the  sport  of  phonetic  winds.  The  elder 
Disraeli,  writing  on  the  "  Orthography  of  Proper  Names,"  observes, 
that  "  as  late  as  1660  a  Dr.  Crovne,  was  at  such  a  loss  to  have  his 
name  pronounced  rightly,  that  he  tried  six  different  ways  of  writing 
it,  as  appears  by  printed  books — Cron,  Croon,  Crovn,  Crone,  Croone, 
and  Crovne  ;  all  which  appear  under  his  own  hand,  as  he  wrote  it 
differently  at  different  periods  of  his  life.  In  his  will  at  the  Com- 
mons he  signs  W.  Crovne."  When,  as  a  finale  to  its  variations  or 
as  a  clue  to  its  pronunciation,  the  Dr.  elected  to  spell  his  name 
Crovne,  we  are  reminded  of  the  ancient  Cockney  conflict  between 
the  V  and  W,  and  of  the  elder  Mr.  Weller'  s  lucid  hint  on  the  or- 
thography of  that  illustrious  name  when  he  called  to  his  son  in  the 
court  to  "  Spell  it  vith  a  Wee"  Perhaps  to  Cockney  usage  it  may 
also  be  owing  that  the  surnames  of  Vinegar,  Vulgar,  and  Viper,  are 
sometimes  seen  as  Winegar,  Wulgar,  and  Wiper ;  while  the  name 
of  Evyeart — shadowing  forth,  as  it  does,  a  sorrowing  spirit,  and 
looking  more  stricken  for  the  loss  of  its  H's — may  owe  its  bereave- 
ment to  the  same  H-abusing  idiom.  But  the  Heavyhearts  have 
a  fellow-sufferer  in  no  less  a  personage  than,  the  Pope,  one  of  whose 
titles  is  somewhere  written  Olyfather.

Was  first  of  all  a  Peck  of  clay : 
This,  wrought  by  skill  divine,  while  fresh, 
Became  a  curious  Peck  of  flesh : 
Through  various  forma  its  Maker  ran, 
Then,  adding  breath,  made  Peck  a  man. 
Full  sixty  years  Peck  felt  life's  bubbles, 
Till  Death  relieved  a  Peck  of  troubles. 
Thus  fell  poor  Peck,  as  all  things  must, 
And  here  he  lies  a  Peck  of  dust."

launching  of  the  most  destructive  war-vessel  then 
contrived,  with  a  sad  appropriateness  named  the 
Devastation.  But  a  later  creation,  the  Inflexibk,  has 
been  pronounced  upon  authority  to  be  still  more  de- 
structive— "  the  most  perfectly-designed  ship  afloat

Man's  need  of  a  designation  dates  from  Adam,  among

phetic significancy  we  may  note  the  series  founded 
on  those  which  are  known  as  Christian  or  Baptismal,

to  have  had  babes  at  his  desire,  or  perhaps  beyond  it,

A  little  group  of  names  compounded  of  VERB  and 
ADVERB,  and  having  their  termination  in  "  well,"  may 
have  afforded  a  clue  in  some  cases  to  the  peculiarities 
or  properties  of  their  original  owners.  Of  such  are 
Fretwell,  Cantwell,  Chatwell,  Hindcrwell,  Callwell, 
Love  well,  Buswell,  Pkadwell,  Comcell,  PrcssweU,  Dun- 
well,  Hopewell,  Livewell,  Meanwell,  Tradewell,  Friswell, 
Trimwell,  Cardwell,  Bakewell,  Searchwett,  Sitwell, 
Standwell,  Waitwell,  Treadicell,  Motherwell,  Hatchwell, 
Say  well,  Markiccll.Boxwcll,  Warm  well,  Wearwell:  and 
others.  The  name  of  Maydwcll  might  be  taken  to 
denote  personal  grace,  like  that  of  Handsomebody. 
But  referring  to  names  of  this  class  an  ancient  writer* 
has  propounded,  that  "  sundry,  comming  to  possesse

In  Directories,  which  at  first-sight  look  so  sterile, 
perhaps  the  last  "  effect "  we  might  expect  to  find  in 
them  would  be  the  emotional: — can  these  wieldy,  dreary 
tomes,  so  severely  practical,  contain  a  single  ingredient 
akin  to  what  is  called  sensational?  And  yet,  in  culling 
their  contents  we  alight  on  a  mass  of  Surnames  formed 
ofYerbs  in  the  IMPERATIVE,  some  of  which — coupled 
with  their  Christian  adjunct — may  remind  us  of 
dramatic  attitudes  and  the  language  of  romance.  See 
how  these  seemingly-sedate  Directories  may  confuse 
if  not  perturb  a  sensitive  fancy  by  such  conflicting 
appeals  and  commands  as  Kiss*  Melinda ! — Dare,

kiss  approximate  in  this — that  a  kiss  is  often  a  pledge.  From  the

Bonson,  Bonfellow,  Morshead,  Luxmore,  Rainbeaux :

Goodban,  and  the  French  name,  now  naturalised,  of 
Malbon.  In  this  class  Todleben,  a  name  in  which 
death  and  life  are  joined,  is  an  item  of  special  interest,

*  The  heroine  of  a  story  sometime  ago  reported  in  the  news- 
papers is  nearly-enough  associated  with  the  name  of  Whyborn  to  be 
mentioned  here.  The  lady  who,  from  a  public  platform,  had  been 
energetically  insisting  upon  Woman's  rights,  demanded  sharply 
"  Why  was  I  born  ?"  Nobody  presuming  on  so  sudden  a  summons 
to  attempt  a  solution  of  that  debateable  query,  the  orator  again 
challenged  her  audience  with  "  Why  was  Jborn  P" — whereupon  a 
boor,  who  must  have  been  conning  the  problem  as  though  it  were 
a  riddle,  exclaimed,  "  I  gives  it  up!"  But  a  veritable  Mrs. 
Whyborn  died  at  Hastings  on  the  17th  of  February  1875,  at  the  age 
of  100  years  and  5  months;  and  for  her  a  raison  d'etre  was  thus 
assigned  by  Punch : —

It  may  be  said  of  these  Name-Registers  that,  if 
they  at  first  sight  appear  like  dismal  lumber-stores,  by 
patient  plodding  among  them  they  get  rather  to 
resemble  old  curiosity-shops,  and  the  searcher  after 
certain  classes  of  cognomens  finds  unexpected  material 
for  joinery- work  as  he  proceeds.  See  for  instance  how

Killing,  or  Slaughter,  or  secondary  as  in  Felony,  Rape, 
Swindell,  Cutting,  Beating,  Sacking,  or  Laming ;  or

then  a  Sheriff,  Priest,  Scaffold,  Rope,  Gallows,^  and

In  every  other  daily  use  save  in  that  of  its  Nomen- 
clature the  words  of  a  language  are  exact  descriptives 
of  what  they  are  intended  to  describe ;  but  as  men  are  in 
each  generation  changing,  designations  which  were  no 
doubt  appropriate  when  first  applied  may  now  entirely 
mis-name  their  present  inheritors.  In  the  ordinary  use 

*  Law  in  a  compound  form  is  seen  with  several  com- 
plexions— there  is  Whitelaw,  Greenlaw,  Erownlaw,  Blacklaw ; 
likewise  Softlaw  :  we  meet  also  with  Shillinglaw,  which,  for  a 
luxury  like  law,  looks  at  first  sight  like  temptingly-cheap  law. 
But  the  shilling  which  was  first  compounded  with  Law  was,  when 
coined,  worth  more  than  the  twelvepence  of  these  days— it  might 
have  been  an  ancient  equivalent  of  the  modern  six-and-eightpence.

of  language  no  one  would  call  that  black  which  is  white 
or  that  big  which  is  little  ;  but  when  we  nowadays

as  inconsistent,  which  Custom  has  caused  to  flow 
unnoticed  from  our  tongues  and  fall  unheeded  on  our 
ears.  Among  such  names  speculation  may  take 
harmless  exercise.  Who  knows  whethe^  the  living

impersonation  of  honesty,  and  Morecraft  of  still  sur- 
passing sincerity,  and  Guile  of  charming  simplicity, 
and  Cant  of  stern  truthfulness,  and  Fibbs  and  Lies 
and  Purelies  be  men  of  unquestioned  veracity,  and 
Verity  be  given  to  fibbing  ?  May  not  Mummery  be 
a  scorner  of  shams,  and  Maskery  disdain  two  faces  ? 
— How  often  have  Cowards  proved  courageous,  and 
Trumps  weak-handed  and  faint-hearted,  and  Rakes

Dandeys  are  seen  no  dressier  and  Dupes  no  easier 
deceived  than  other  men.  Bulleys  have  been  known

how  appositely  was  that  poor  widow  surnamed  Martyr,  who,  being 
the  miserable  mother  of  unmanageable  weans,  was  hailed  before 
the  judgment-seat  at  the  instance  of  an  "imprisoning  Board,"t 
and  threatened  with  penalties  in  her  own  person  because  her  rebel 
runagates  would  continue  in  scarceness  on  the  board-school  register. 
The  functions  of  the  School  Board,  as  they  are  brought  to  bear 
upon  wastrels,  are  aptly  described  by  the  names  of  Gatchem  and 
Teachem  : — whether  the  practice  suggested  by  that  other  name  of 
Whackum  is  also  brought  to  bear  upon  the  otherwise  incorrigible, 
would  perhaps  depend  upon  the  softness  or  hardness  of  a  board.

a  nutshell  and  may  be  read  as  in  a  primer  the  rise 
and  fall,  the  swelling  and  the  subsidence  of  many  an 
arrogant  pretension,  and  the  summary  of  bulky  blue- 
books  couched  in  the  long-drawn  logic  of  international 
diplomacy.  Waste,  Need,  and  Want,  a  close  con- 
federacy as  states  of  being,  are  leagues  asunder  in 
the  scroll  of  names;  so  too  are  the  fraternities  of  Tittle, 


IN    FAMILY    GROUPINGS.  69 

Tattle,  Twaddell,  Clack,  Gossip*  Gabb,  and  Grumble; 
Swear,  Quarrell,  Huff,  Tiff,  and  Tantrum.  Long 
columns  of  small  print  and  many  miles  of  land- 
measure  divide  Caste  and  Creed,  and  Eat  and  Cram, 
and  Chew  and  Cudd;  likewise  Ask,  Borrow,  Begg, 
and  Cadge;  and  Alms  and  Aid;  and  it  is  from  many 
sources  that  we  collate  a  Book,  Page,  Sentence,  Line, 
Leaf,  and  Margin;  Gospell  and  Proverbs;  Grammer, 
Syntax,  Rule,  Tense,  Vowel,  Word;  Schools,  Lesson, 
Learning,  Studdy,  Scholar,  Truant,  Dullard,  Dunce, 
Dolt,  Gaby,  Luby,  and  Lumpkin.  Industry  has 
children  everywhere,  and  we  may  wonder  if  the 
family  of  Allwork  are  dull  boys,  and  how  such  names 
befit  their  present  wearers  as  Labour,  Worke,  Drudge, 
Sweat,  and  Fagg;  or  these  others,  Golighily,  Doolittle, 
Worknot,  Laggon,  Rust,  and  Ruston; — may  marvel 
whether,  "  in  the  process  of  the  suns,"  they  now  be 
merry  men  who  aforetime  were  known  as  Cry, 
Grieve,  Greet,  Howl,  Moan,  Whimper,  Whinney, 
Tears;  and  they  of  a  sad  visage  who  were  at  first 

*  The  term  Gossip,  as  explained  by  Archbishop  Trench  (in  "  Eng- 
lish Past  and  Present  "),  had  its  origin  in  a  middle-age  belief  that 
baptismal  sponsors  "  contracted  spiritual  affinity  one  with  another, 
and  became  sib  or  akin  in  God."  What  a  rescue  of  the  name  from 
the  rank  of  demerit  to  that  of  highest  honour !  The  -word  "  sib,"  in 
the  sense  of  relationship,  comes  down  to  us  in  the  Scotch  proyerb, 
"  A'  Stuarts  are  no  sib  to  the  king;"  and  again  in  this  other,  per- 
haps more  characteristically  Scotch,  "  Its  gude  to  be  sib  to  siller.''

*  Nodder,  as  an  occupation,  may  stand  on  the  authority  of  an 
ancient  ballad  which  describes  a  whole  household  as  "  nid  nid 
noddin'."  In  a  return  made  for  the  census  of '61,  an  old  couple,  who 
had  been  put  into  a  house  to  take  care  of  it,  described  their  occu- 
pation as  "  Sits  by  the  fire."  In  midwinter,  and  in  such  a  nid  or 
nest,  no  doubt  these  two  would  have  been  often  both  Nodders  and 
Nappers — the  male  a  Nodderman.

May  in  Youngmay  and  Mildmay — the  latter  (according  to  Mr. 
Lower)  appearing  as  lony  ago  as  1147  in  the  form  of  Mildme.

Day,  Lucky  Day :  there  is  also  a  Winter  Summers.  The  names 
of  Goodie  and  Seasongood  may  be  added  to  this  class.
